Subject: [PATCH] install: don't use ln --relative

Oldish enterprise-class distributions have too old versions of
coreutils, with ln not supporting --relative.

So we fake it.

ln --relative would create minimalist relative paths, but they are not
trivial to generate. Instead, we always create paths relative to the
root, i.e.:

    ln -s --relative /usr/bin/foo /usr/sbin/foo

would create:  /usr/sbin/foo -> ../bin/foo
while we do :  /usr/sbin/foo -> ../../usr/bin/foo
